Maybe it's me but don't you think Apple just wanted the iPhone 5 to ship en masse this quarter and not last

Yes the Iphone 5 's shortage is mysterious. I have an iphone5 and I totally get it why there is a shortage. I cam from a Android (Droid pro, Droid 3, Samsung Galaxy S2, Droid X, X2) Yes I have gone through all of them and as a backup used to have a samsung Convoy feature phone.
I had to turn off the 3g connectivity on my devices as if I used 3g and god forbid had background data enabled it used to burn my battery in 2 hours. And yes I had advanced task killer enabled. This time I took the plunge into the iphone5 (I had also done that before with iphone4 when the antennagate issue was there and returned it in 30 days to att as I felt the screen was a tad small)
New iphone 5 is in short supply as I believe there is overwhelming demand for it.
Reasons
Battery life on 4g LTE (Verizon now) starts at 9 am and is at 60% for me till 9pm with calls , internet usage etc
Facetime over 4gLte is awesome
Wifi speeds are real fast
$g lte is real fast (did i say that again it is faster than my wifi at home (I have a broadband 20 mbps comcast connection broadband router)
Phone is really pretty
Layout is so neat
Apps in iOs are simply well laid out and they work differently in ios than in Android . Just take a look at the etrade app fro example,
The phone has not frozen on me when the call tries to come and also does not boot up again and again
Camera is super fast faster than my Canon point and shoot without flash it is like lightening
Battery and Lightneining connector I don't know if it is the adaptot or what but the battery gets charged in 1 hour my Droids used to take like 3- hours to get fully charged
Speakers on the new iphone 5 are real awesome you can listen to the song without any headphones

Reason Any android user who has not used an iphone5 is because
1) They want to make a statement that they are different and not isheep
2) It is too expensive for them
3) They are just ignorant on what they are missing out on

Hey this is coming from a 5 year extensive Android user Droid was the biggest hit I believe so I had followed it through

Bottom line, no one is going to buy a different phone because of a 3-4 week delay. Sales will move to holiday quarter is all. Eventually yield rates improve or other suppliers come on line, happens every release. Buying aapl every $10 it goes lower. This is awesome!

I waited for the iPhone 5. Why would I want to use anything else?
